One of the encouraging things I said to him after hearing all that, was, our generation is different than our parents (Greatest Generation) because we're generally healthier, medical attention and medications are better. We're still viable at 60 so that most of us have a while to finish well

Yes. Lots of folks have a whole new life after losing a spouse after many years ti illness/death. My mother mourned my Dad for 10 years and then started dating all the men she knew back in high school (many were widowers or divorced)…eventually marrying. Both have passed now. My father in law did the same after his wife passed. He waited 20 years and remarried in his 80s and they are going strong after many years.
I had to fix it:) |

As I gracefully age with class and sophistication, I realize forgiveness is the key to happiness. I’ve been forgiving people my whole life and they all love me for it.

I think it was Confucius that said “we all have 2 lives, and the 2nd one begins when you realize you only have 1.”
It’s a fact that 18-28 year olds are pretty young in hindsight to be making these kinds of lifelong or life altering decisions, especially with the hormone levels being what they are in those years prioritizing certain things over other qualities. But it is what it is and there’s no changing it. We’ve all BTDT with various success. Sorry to here about Bill’s story, but at 65 he’s got to look at it like he’s got another 20 years… how’s he want to spend them? And go from there. |
Forgiveness of others is about you healing inside, not about them

He probably forgave you years ago. He may be too embarrassed to reach out. |

Too much invested to back out now... I'm with you, better to get out when you realize there's a major compatibility problem than stay and escalate. I'm married now and have been with my wife for over 27 years. It's worked out well for me. It works out well for lots of folks, but not everyone. And then you've got a bunch of folks that get married when they should call it quits. |

"Had a good friend that lived in Alabama - married for the second time to a woman from europe."
You sure that wasn't Eupora Mississippi? It's right around the corner from Hong Kong! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JCyJ1VKQWoY" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
CP, consider this:
There are numerous unmarried in PARF that do not have it brought up there. It isn't that you are unmarried on it's own. There is an inconsistancy between how you live your personal life and the politics you support. You make demands of others that they should share of their life; yet your personal life lacks such commitment. THAT is why your personal life gets brought up from time to time. |
This coming June my wife and I will celebrate 44 years of marriage . Best decision I ever made .
